FWIW, my original problem, being that the system in question is i686,
was that kernel-PAE had not been installed before xen-hypervisor.
However, even after that the
set default="Xen"
accomplishes nothing as "Xen" does not exactly match the entries put
in place by grub2-mkconfig.
So, getting further along, but still no Xen without manual assistance.
